A blog about the things I love, written by a hopeful romantic.

“Spend time every day listening to what your muse is trying to tell you.” – Barb Miller

I am inspired every minute of the day by various forms of beauty and I have been since as far back as I can remember. Translating this inspiration into weddings and events is second-nature to me. When I started my first wedding and event planning firm in 2001, I called myself a “muse” much to the chagrin of my business mentor who claimed that no one would know what a muse was. At the time I was also teaching High School English and the thought of using one of my favorite literary references seemed perfect. I defined the term for my clients as “a guiding spirit or source of inspiration” and this is exactly what I did in the seven years that I planned weddings with my brides.

Today my focus and intent is the same but what I’ve learned over the years is that what I love most about the idea of being a muse is that it requires a partnership that is as much give as it is take, and the outcome is a fully inspired event with thoughtful detail and careful consideration of my clients’ desires so that the final result represents them in every single way.

My San Francisco-based firm has global wedding, event, fashion and art partners. Allow me to muse you for your next special event.
